Home before dark...

8 February 2021: There is still something about getting home before 5:00 that makes me feel decadent. But I was in my office as the clock hit 4:00 and though I still had work to do, I just decided to come home. (I also wanted to stop by the bank to get $5 bills for the kids' Valentine's Day cards...) So I left. 

By 4:45, I was home, changed, and laying on my bed with the boys, listening to a podcast and playing a dumb game on my phone. As 5:00 rolled around, I looked out the window and it was still light out--sunny even. Now that felt very good.
